Comment - The most interesting stuff I saw last night on TV was the satellite-phone video from a reporter riding in a Bradley Fighting Vehicle. It was pretty cool seeing the tanks and other vehicles roaring across the desert.

Of course, the video could have been from the Mojave Desert in California for all I know. It did not really convey any news, but it was a great visual.

Remember the buzz phrase from the 1991 Gulf War: "The Mother of All Battles"? It's clear that the cliché for the Second Gulf War is going to be "shock and awe."

News -- Did we kill Saddam?: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/03/21/international/worldspecial/21INTE.html

From the article: "Today, the mystery deepened as intelligence agencies monitoring Iraqi communications detected a significant drop in intercepted conversations among the nation's top leaders. Some officials speculated that Iraq's leadership had gone underground."

Clearly, something strange in going on in Iraq. If Saddam were alive and kickin', wouldn't it make sense for him to rally his troops by appearing on TV, roaring with defiance? It seems to me he would have a lot to gain by thumbing his nose at the U.S. "Nyah, nyah, you missed me!". But maybe there is no more nose to thumb...or thumb, either.
